“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The financial year ending 31 March 2025 proved to be a very busy time for the Charity. At March 2025 Martha House had 14 residents with no empty beds. Sophie House had 13 lifelong residents (due to death of 1 resident in Dec 24).”
